Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portobello mushrooms
- 0.5 cups Almonds
- 0.5 cups Walnuts
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it using olive oil or cooking spray.
Clean the Portobello mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and scrape out the gills using a spoon, then slice the caps into 1/2-inch-wide strips.
In a food processor, pulse the almonds and walnuts until they resemble coarse crumbs. Be careful not to over-process. Transfer the nut mixture to a mixing bowl and combine with the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese (if using), garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one for the flour, one for the beaten eggs, and one for the nut-breadcrumb mixture.
Coat each mushroom strip with flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, and then press it into the nut-breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the coated strips onto the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly drizzle or spray the mushroom strips with olive oil to help them brown and crisp in the oven.
Bake the strips in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or toss onto a salad for extra crunch.
